Hello all,
I'm just trying this out.
I'm looking to have someone adopt a cashew tree from me.
Don't believe what it says in plantfiles (not last time I checked anyway).
A cashew tree in NOT hardy in USDA zone 9. Not even close.
I'll be starting seeds in early spring if I can get some viable ones.
All the trees I had died last year well BEFORE it got cold.
These would have to stay either in a LARGE, heated greenhouse or
outside somewhere in the warmer parts of USDA zone 10.
I would like to trade a tree for the first fruit that it may produce.
I'm not sure about the pollination needs (male-female, etc.) for cashew trees, but I had one flower at about two and a half feet tall in a seven gallon pot.
I think it would be worth a shot in a large nursery container (twenty-five gallons or larger).
Very inexpensive and easily hidden behind bamboo/lattice work/reeds/use your imagination or buy a very expensive pot to fit your taste :).
I'm NOT looking to give a high dollar tree to just anyone off the street.
If you think you may have a suitable place to try this let me know and we will see if we can work out the details.
Thanks

Anyone have a LARGE, private GH in SE USA???
That sounds pretty interesting to me.
Lets "talk" about it tomorrow.
You should be in bed. Didn't realize who started this thread? :)))

I know that this is from a year ago, but if you need to overwinter a tree, I have a GH
